00:25have you seen this it's good what the new online
00:29edition of eye on fashion the in-depth interview that katie did going on and on about who this
00:36mystery designer is who could it possibly be i don't know seems like a big pr stunt to me
00:42just to drum up some interest in the new company logan what do you think i think this is probably
00:50your sister's idea and that's a good one you know i've got some hype for the company the problem is
00:55going to be when this new mystery designer can't live up to the hype hmm you mean when she finally
00:59tells everybody who it actually is yeah everyone's going to find out and no one's going to care
01:05i'm going to be worried about it you know what i'm worried about is my dad's stress levels where's
01:10that coming from i don't know i'm worried about that too and obviously so is donna we got to find
01:14that way where's this pressure coming from
01:23so
01:48I have an idea.
01:51A brilliant one, if I may say so myself.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Yeah.
01:56It's a beautiful day outside.
01:57I thought maybe I would slip on my new bikini, picking my head down by the pool.
02:04Uh-huh.
02:05Make something healthy like kale chips and avocado deviled eggs.
02:11Does that sound good?
02:12Yeah.
02:13Yeah.
02:15Sure.
02:17Have you heard a word I said?
02:20Yeah.
02:20It's something about a bikini and avocado toast or chips or something.
02:27Dip.
02:28What?
02:28Eric.
02:29Eric.
02:29Honey.
02:31I'm trying to get you to take a break.
02:33No, I can't.
02:33I can't.
02:34I'm under a lot of pressure here.
02:35I've got to get this thing finished.
02:36You are putting way too much pressure on yourself.
02:40I made a commitment.
02:41I made a commitment to your sister.
02:42Yeah.
02:44But if Katie knew what I know, I've seen the physical effects.
02:47You were short of breath.
02:50You have the whole weight of this collection on your shoulders.
02:56You're going to have to tell Katie that you, you can't go through with this line.
03:06Forget it, Enrique.
03:07You're not going to pin me down.
03:09The launch will happen when it happens and not a moment sooner.
03:13All right.
03:13Thought to you later.
03:17Excitement's building.
03:18Just wish I could be confident that Eric was going to come through.
03:22He will come through.
03:24He wants this line to be the best ever.
03:26Yeah, well, me too.
03:27That little outburst earlier over some silk.
03:30He's used to working with the finest materials.
03:34That's all well and good, Katie.
03:36But to deliver that material, it was about 10 months out.
03:39We don't have that kind of time.
03:40And on top of that, you know, just so happens it was five times more expensive.
03:46But that's neither here nor there.
03:47Okay?
03:48Regardless, we have got to light a fire under Eric.
03:52He hated the designs when we saw him on the model.
03:54So if he scraps them, if he starts over, that just increases the chances that somebody's going to find out
04:01that Eric is your lead designer.
04:03I'm sure Brick will have something to say about that.
04:06But if she lashes out at me, I can handle it.
04:09What I can't handle is something happening to Eric.
04:17Mr.
05:19No.
05:20So did you get the sense that the doctor maybe thought it was more than stress?
05:26Doctor, I didn't say much.
05:28Well, there's got to be a way to find out what's really going on with Eric.
05:32I like Eric, I appreciate his talent, and I'm glad he landed at Logan.
05:37If for no other reason to see the dressmaker's head explode when he finds out.
05:42Well, it's certainly not going to be pretty.
05:45Ridge and Brooke are going to come down on us hard.
05:47No, whatever.
05:48We'll give as good as we get, and so will Eric.
05:51In the meantime, I need Eric to get his act together.
05:55No more delays, no more complaints about materials.
05:59Just get the line out and get it out now.
06:02Eric, come on.
06:04If designing this collection is causing you this much stress and...
06:07Yeah, I just have to push through, that's all.
06:11Even if it's not what you want anymore, come on.
06:13I asked you earlier if you were happy, and you danced around the subject, Eric.
06:18But then finally you admitted that you'd rather be home.
06:22In the office with Ridge and your grandkids.
06:26Now, if that doesn't tell me everything, I don't know what does.
06:32Yeah, you're right.
06:34I am having second thoughts.
06:37I thought it was a great idea at first to go over and help Katie and be her head designer.
06:42I thought that was great, but now...
06:44Now, they think you made a terrible mistake.
06:57Eric's adjusting to a lot.
06:59He's used to how things were done at Forrester.
07:01Well, that's just it.
07:03This isn't Forrester.
07:04It's a whole new ball game.
07:06And Eric isn't running the show.
07:08He's an employee.
07:09He's a lot more than that, and you know it.
07:13You're right.
07:15But I'm looking out for my wife.
07:18Yes, Eric is a titan in the fashion industry, and we're lucky to have him.
07:24But...
07:24But we can't coddle him, Katie.
07:26This is a business, and it has to run like one.
07:29There's a lot of money at stake.
07:32That's not all that's at stake.
07:34My relationship with my sister and Eric's relationship with Ridge.
07:40Look at him.
07:42He carried this whole design house for decades, and pressure must have been amazing.
07:46I mean, he was what?
07:48He was here 24-7.
07:50And now, in retirement, there's no pressure.
07:54But we don't even see him at all.
07:57Yeah, what is that?
07:59He doesn't play golf, thank God.
08:02And barely plays tennis anymore, and he and Donna, they're not traveling.
08:05So what is he up to?
08:07Why is he stressed?
08:19So you think you made a mistake?
08:25Look, it wasn't my idea, you know, to retire.
08:28It was Ridge's idea.
08:29Yeah, yeah, a very short-sighted one, even though it was well-intentioned.
08:38He made an offer for me to come back to the office anytime I wanted to.
08:41I can go back anytime I want.
08:43But it's kind of insulting, really.
08:46It was just a permission to come back to the company that I founded.
08:51I can only imagine how much that hurt.
08:54Yeah, yeah.
08:55I was just throwing the old man a few crumbs.
08:59In his waning years...
09:01But these are not your waning years.
09:04I'm 80 years old, Donna.
09:06A very young, sexy, vibrant 80 years old.
09:11Yeah.
09:12I just didn't want to be sidelined.
09:14But that's exactly what Ridge did.
09:15He sidelined you.
09:16He did, and that's why I went to Katie.
09:19That's why I wanted to be over there.
09:20To prove that I could do something, and I still had something to offer.
09:24Yes, and you did that.
09:26Yep.
09:26You wanted to show Ridge and the world that you were relevant, and you did.
09:31Your designs are beautiful.
09:33They are, but they're compromised by Bill's obsession with the bottom line.
09:38All right.
09:39Well, maybe, maybe Katie can reign him in.
09:41She?
09:42She cares about you.
09:43Yeah.
09:47I just don't know how this happened.
09:52You know, I'm, I'm, I'm at Logan, and my family's at Forester, and how, how did I let it get
09:59this far?
10:00How did I, how did I let it get so far?
10:06How did I let it get so far?
10:07How did I let it get so far?
10:25So, any word from Eric yet?
10:27No.
10:29Third text of the day.
10:31He's not responding.
10:32At least he can say that he's all right or something.
10:34You think maybe he could have his phone turned off?
10:36It's been like this for weeks.
10:38When I do see him, I see him just for a second.
10:40I need to go somewhere else.
10:42I don't know.
10:44So, what are we going to do about it?
10:46Well, I'm not going to stay here and wait for him to text me.
10:48I'm, uh, I'm going to go check on him.
10:52You're going to go to the house?
10:53Yeah.
10:54Okay.
10:55Let me come with you.
10:56Good.
11:00I know how much you value your relationship with Brooke, and I realize that it's taking
11:04a hit.
11:05Yeah.
11:06It's going to take even a bigger hit when she realizes that Eric is on our team.
11:12I can't worry about that right now.
11:14I just, I, I don't want him to feel like we let him down.
11:17Let him down?
11:19What?
11:20By insisting that he deliver Logan's maiden launch on time?
11:25That's not an unrealistic expectation, Katie.
11:28No, I know.
11:31Bill, the fashion business is, is, is different than probably what you're used to.
11:36Business is business.
11:38Are you saying I should cut our lead designer some slack?
11:41Give in to his every whim no matter what?
11:44I'm saying that there's probably some middle ground, a way to work with Eric without putting
11:48him under so much pressure.
11:51Pressure for me?
11:53I know you're looking out for me and for your investment, but Eric isn't just my lead designer.
11:58He is a very dear friend, and I feel like I have to look out for him.
12:03Well, what you just pointed out, I am looking out for you.
12:06You're caring and you're compassionate.
12:10But Eric offered to be your lead designer.
12:13We didn't force it on him.
12:15I think you're right.
12:15That's true.
12:16I'm just trying to be sensitive to the situation.
12:19And I'm a realist, Katie.
12:22And we need that line, and we need it yesterday.
12:25Eric can't slack off.
12:27He has got to come through.
12:41You know, maybe, uh, maybe we should call your doctor and just, just, just let him come
12:46and, and, and check on you, and...
12:48It's not necessary.
12:50I'm okay.
12:51No.
12:52No, you're not okay.
12:53This, this pressure from Bill is not good for you.
12:56I can handle Bill.
12:58I know you can handle Bill, Eric, but you shouldn't have to handle Bill, okay?
13:05Look, I, I love that you want my sister to succeed, and so do I, but my God, not, not
13:10at the expense of your health.
13:12Yeah.
13:13Or, or your relationship with Ridge.
13:16And what about Brooke and Katie?
13:18Huh?
13:19When Brooke finds out what Katie did, she is going to be livid, livid, and their relationship
13:25could be beyond repair.
13:26It's, it's the last thing I wanted.
13:29The last thing I wanted for our families to be at, at loggerheads like this, one family
13:33against the other.
13:34I know how family is important to you.
13:37Yours, especially.
13:39Listen, if you just, if you just back out now, back out now, it's not too late.
13:46No.
13:46Not too.
13:46I can't.
13:47I can't.
13:48I made a, I made a commitment.
13:52I made a commitment to Katie, and I'm going to do it.
13:56I'm going to finish this collection.
14:03Okay.
14:06Okay.
14:08Okay.
14:10Okay.
14:17It's going to work out.
14:18It's not the end of the world if we delay the launch by a couple of weeks.
14:23What if a couple of weeks turns into a month?
14:26Or two months?
14:28What if Eric doesn't deliver at all?
14:31He already has.
14:32These designs are sensational.
14:34He saw them on the models, and he wasn't happy.
14:38He's worried execution isn't going to be at the same standard he said at Forrester.
14:42No, maybe there's more to it.
14:45Maybe Eric is having some regret.
14:48So he's coming up with excuses, planning an exit strategy.
14:54An exit strategy.
14:56Eric came to Logan to help you.
14:59But he also wanted to settle a score with Ridge.
15:03And I get it.
15:04I mean, his arrogant son forced him out the door at Forrester.
15:08Treated him like an old fossil.
15:11So if I were Eric, I would want to teach Ridge a lesson, too.
15:16But that's between them.
15:18I don't know if I want you caught in the middle of that case.
15:23Especially when it comes to a head between father and son.
15:28You forgot to stop that this can't go on.
15:31Look at you, Eric.
15:33Okay.
15:34I'm calling.
15:36No, no, no, no, no.
15:37Stop, stop.
15:37No, I'm fine.
15:38You are not.
15:39I'm fine.
15:39You're not fine.
15:41My God, you're not fine.
15:42Look at you.
15:44You're stressed out.
15:45You're, you're, you're short of breath.
15:49I can't.
15:51I can't lose you, Eric.
15:53You're not going to lose me.
15:54Stop it.
15:56Stop it.
15:58You're not going to lose me.
16:01I promise you.
16:02I promise you.
16:03Stop it.
16:08Sit up.
16:12You're right.
16:15You're right.
16:16I never envisioned, I never envisioned my life like this.
16:22being separated from my family
16:26and from the company I founded.
16:30I'm still pissed off at Rich.
16:36I'm so angry at him
16:38for pushing me out of that company when he did.
16:43But I'm here and I'm here with you.
16:46I'm still there, of course.
16:49I founded that company.
16:51I know.
16:52And I still have a lot to give.
16:54Stop. Stop. Stop.
16:58I know you did.
17:01I know you did.
17:04Eric, you were taking on too much.
17:10I'm scared for you.
17:12I'm scared for you.
17:14It's okay. I'm going to be okay.
17:16I'm going to be okay.
17:18We'll see.
17:19Yeah.
17:28Oh, Dad, you're home. Good.
17:37Rich, what are you doing here?
17:41I came to check on you
17:43because your doctor said you wanted to stress
17:45and I'm not sure why because you're retired.
17:49And now we walk in here,
17:50we see this and we see all that.
17:58So what's going on?
17:59So what's going on?
17:59I'm going to be okay.
18:04Let's go.
18:06All right.
18:11Bye bye.
18:12Bye bye.
18:14Bye bye.
18:15Bye bye.
18:15Bye bye.
